Cantaloupe Music

Cantaloupe Music is the record label created and launched in March 2001 by the three founders of New York’s legendary Bang on a Can organization—composers Michael Gordon, David Lang and Julia Wolfe—with Bang on a Can managing director Kenny Savelson. Cantaloupe has made a massive impact in the new music community, and has been recognized by critics and fans worldwide for its edgy and adventurous sounds. The label’s mission has been to provide a home for contemporary classical and post-classical music that is, in the words of Michael Gordon, “too funky for the academy.”
